[quote=Anonymous]>>I would also encourage a teen with a disability to get out in the summers and do some volunteer work or find a part-time job. For many it will give them some new skills and for many it may well help to build a positive confidence and record of success which as a struggling student, one so often does not feel. << Absolutely. My daughter (I'm the OP) has done a ton of volunteer work and particularly likes working with kids with disabilities. She has worked all summer as a paid counselor in training at a day camp (for kids without special needs). She found the job on her own and has done a terrific job. The kids at the camp love her. I feel so good when I come to pick her up and the kids are hanging onto her telling her not to leave. It is going to be very hard for her to go from this environment back to school.[/quote]
